This Saturday the legendary
Galloping Ghost Arcade is hosting another Mortal Kombat Tournament Special event that should not be missed if you are in the Midwest. For those of you unaquinted, Galloping Ghost Arcade is located in the suburbs of Chicago in Brookfield, IL and is home to more arcade machines than any other arcade in the USA. The arcade is also run by huge Mortal Kombat fans and often have the cast of the original games show up for special events. They even have custom made arcade cabinets for both
Mortal Kombat (2011) and
Injustice: Gods Among Us. I have no doubt that next year they'll have a
Mortal Kombat X cabinet.
This MK event like the
previous event back in January, will have many actors from
Mortal Kombat,
Mortal Kombat 2 and
Mortal Kombat 3. in attendance. But this event has the largest lineup yet of Mortal Kombat actors yet who will be making appearances, so if you are looking to just meet them or get autographs, this is the day to go!
Here's a quick list of the current confirmed roster of attendees:
Daniel Pesina - (Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, & Reptile)
Rich Divizio - (Kano, Baraka, Kabal, & Quan Chi)
Phillip Ahn - (Shang Tsung)
Kerri Hoskins Branson - (Sonya Blade)
John Parrish - (Jax)
Lia Montelongo - (Sindel)
Sal Divita - (NightWolf, Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke)
Brian Glynn - (Shao Khan)
Carlos Pesina - (Raiden)
Tony Marquez - (Kung Lao)
The event starts this
Saturday June 28th at
11am and runs all night until
close at 2am, with the actors stopping by when they can and tournaments running throughout the day. It'll also
be streamed to the gallopingghostarcade Twitch channel for those who can't attend. Or are busy that day and just want to watch later.
For more details and updates,
sign up on their Facebook Event post or just show up that day.
Sadly once again I can not attend due to previous plans, but hopefully you MK fans can! But hopefully we can get a
report or two from the fans in attendance again.
